I will trust Mechwarrior: Living Legends to be more accurate to the Battletech universe. The people that make Mechwarrior games that are not fans of Battletech or do not know basic Battletech stories and principles usually find a way to make huge errors when it comes to the basics. Let us hope these MW5 guys get it right, otherwise MW:LL will be the only game for true Mechwarriors.

PS: Notice my screen name. I grew up in Battletech and don't take any of this lightly. I came up in Always Faithful battling the Grey Death Legion on Starlancer.com in the first Mech Commander game online with a 28.8k connection. Before that I honed my skills in MW2. I've fought for both the Clanners and the Inner Sphere as a mercenary. I am MECHROMANCER!
